I've used CareMed several times during my travels. I've also recommended them to other expat workers like myself who need coverage when we are not working.
This morning I rang to ask about coverage for my girlfriend. Katrin was very helpful and clearly very knowledgeable. I have now arranged insurance for my girlfriend who is coming to visit.
Katrin also explained recent changes in the law and how they will affect my future travel plans.
Overall I'm very happy with this company and their products. Thankfully I have never needed to make a claim, but it is reassuring knowing that I could.

Contacted caremed twice to claim for medical and even sent the claim forms, medical cert etc but still no reply... I'm an exchange student in Germany and Caremed has made it very inconvenient especially for the price I paid for the insurance. Looking at the reviews, I expected more from Caremed

Made a feedback this morning regarding no replies from Caremed however got a follow up email and call and the lady was very nice about it. She patiently explained the procedure and offered to investigate the long replies, realising that I made a mistake and sent the claims to the wrong office. Yet she was still very nice about it and helped to forward my previous claims to the right office!:-) Extremely helpful staffs. Mistake on my part!

I found all of the application procedures very easy. I just had some doubts about the plans, but the customer service was very efficient and answered my e-mail at the first working day. Also in my opinion, CareMed offers a big range of plans for a fair price.

I have been very pleased with the CareMed service. When first searching a few years ago, I found their website very easy to navigate and also informative.
Since then I have taken policies out/renewed policies with ease and have found the staff very helpful in solving my difficulties... I have not had to make any claim but am confident that the process would go smoothly based on experiences thus far.

No replies to claims for weeks, multiple responders but no progress. Why no issues with my partner with claims in the past but soon as I claim for the same and other ailments experienced on holiday there seems to be an issue and massive delays and obvious confusion in Caremed with random emails.
What is going on?
I advertise your Caremed more than anyone I know and now I am feeling regret.

Signing up for the insurance went very well. I somehow paid for a plan with a deductible, but when I raised it right after, I was helped immediately. A link was sent and I was able to adjust the plan the way I wanted in minutes. Thanks for the swift support!

This is the second time that I choose CareMed as my travel insurance. I can notice right away how serious and commited they are. They have always been so helpful with all the queries and doubts.

I highly recommend it and I will choose it in my further travels.

To whom it may concern,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you one of your customer service colleagues - Katrin. She is very kind and patient for answering my oversea call and sending me a detailed email afterward.

Very efficient working style in any case. Good job. And thank you again...

CareMed has provided me with great customer service. I've bought traveler's insurance with them a few times now. I've never had to use it but it's cheap and I can have it for longer than 6 months which is what I need.

... So, thank you, CareMed, for quickly responding to my queries, and for making the online application process so simple.

Thanks to customer reviews, we would like to draw your attention to certain limitations & exclusions.

CareMed Feedback:Each feedback helps us to review our processes and satisfy the need for additional information.
Your comments give us the opportunity to point to the basics of TRAVEL INSURANCE as it always includes certain limitations. These are indicated on the website prior to the CareMed application as well as in the complete policy wording “Terms and conditions”. The benefit limitations on out-patient treatments appear also on the insurance confirmation available right after enrollment.
Certainly travel insurance differs from a local health insurance and an expatriate insurance and it is essential to check the benefits in order to make the right choice. We warmly request to contact our claims center in order to get information on coverage of specific treatments. Such advice prior to treatments may avoid additional costs. The claims analysts are always pleased to assist.

The customer service has been exceptional. The policy was easy to carry out and staff were helpful and knowledgeable when answering questions.
Only suggestion is to allow policies to be filled out for more than one applicant at a time.

CareMed Feedback:Thanks for your nice comment and your suggestion. For insurance technical requirements, each person has to be enrolled individually as we offer different insurance plans depending on age, destination and personal situation.
After submission of the first application, it is possible to enter further applications. This way, the system will keep some information to shorten the process.

I was very impressed with Caremed's unlimited medical coverage. I was only covered for 120 days by my bank and ... I was afraid I would be left uncovered for the duration of my trip. I emailed Caremed and within 48 hours had the coverage I needed for the rest of my sabbatical in India.

Their service was prompt and easy and with unlimited medical coverage, I'm now relieved I can enjoy the rest of my trip.

It's very convenient to buy the insurance on-line which provides clear definitions, terms and policy. After the purchase, confirmation is received just a few minutes later. The whole process is user friendly and easily accessible.

I needed a work accident cover insurance for my 2 weeks work experience in Italy and this was the most affordable cover.

While searching the internet to find out if I could buy a travel insurance for my child who had already travelled overseas, I came across Care-Med. I wrote to Care-Med a couple of times to seek clarifications on some aspects unique to my situation. Both Katrin and Nadja from Care-Med were prompt in their replies and gave detailed unbiased advice. As such, I was able to decide quickily on the best policy that would serve my needs. Thank you once again for the wonderful service, Katrin and Nadja!

Sometime during 2014 CareMed (presumably because of increased US operations which brought them under the jurisdiction of the US embargo) removed Cuba from their Worldwide policies. Completely understood.

However, in December 2014 President Obama announced the restoration of diplomatic relations and the removal of most sanctions. OFAC and the US Treasury worked extremely quickly to rewrite the rules which came into force on January 16th 2015. (They had already been available to download for some time to allow companies to prepare for the changes.) So, the big question is - When will CareMed get round to restoring Cuba to its policies??

CareMed Feedback:The OFAC sanctions are very unfortunate. It is our objective to be allowed to insure travelers worldwide.
We are glad about the current discussion on higher levels and are hoping for an early positive outcome. As soon as CareMed is authorized to insure travelers in Cuba, we will immediately communicate it and make the applicable adaptations on our website.

01.08.2015:
We are happy to notify that CareMed is able to provide travel insurance for destination Cuba. Due to the pleasing approach between the USA and Cuba, we are now allowed again to insure people traveling to Cuba.
Adaptations have been made to our website, you may get an insurance quote easily online.

I just purchased the Caremed Travel policy after realising that I forgot to get insurance a few days after leaving home. It is so great that Caremed provide an option for this scenario because I am sure it happens all the time. It was made extra easy by Anna Katharina Houben answering my call - with no long waiting times on hold like I have experienced with other insurance companies. Anna was quick to help clarify on the terms and conditions and very fast responding when I wanted to confirm by email. I would definitely recommend that if you find yourself in the same situation - having already left home without insurance, that you don't waste any time and just go with CareMed straight away! Thanks Anna for your help :)

Such a clear and simple application procedure. Very impressed with your Gold Policy cover and the clever idea of providing a 'cut off and keep' insurance certificate at the top of your payment confirmation.

I would like to say what an excellent advisor Katrin is. She has answered all my queries and concerns quickly and in a very professional manner. She is an asset to your company.

I cannot recommend CareMed highly enough! \n\nThe ease at which I could take our insurance with them, as well as the service I received from the team - in particular from Katrin in Germany - was just a breath of fresh air in the chaos of travel and medical insurance! \n\nThey offer such international insurance, in a wide variety of languages - and it\'s just so easy to sign up for and extend! \n\nI am thrilled with the policy as well as the service, and the simple yet effective website - I will certainly recommend CareMed to anyone looking for international travel insurance!

Just want to say Great Job on the part of Annabelle Franco and Katrin Schwering. They responded quickly to email, fully answered my questions and made me feel I was dealing with a quality organization. We're dealing with a 2 to 4 month window to get our long term visa approved and having the ability to change our start date of coverage based on the final approval date helps us adjust our 13 month policy to the actual time we need to be covered for the 12 months we plan to spend in Spain. Thanks again for all the help and understanding.

CareMed Au Pair insurance is perfect for our requirements; providing Health, Accident and Personal Liability cover while my daughter is working for three weeks as an Au Pair in France and also when she is on holiday and travelling worldwide.
Responses to my queries from CareMed were very prompt and thorough, thus helping to reassure me that I have bought a comprehensive and reputable policy for my daughter. The online application process is simple and once purchased, your personalised documents are available online making them accessible worldwide for reference and claim purposes. Hopefully my daughter will have no reason to put in a claim but the process for doing so appears very straightforward.

I bought CareMed travel health insurance a few days ago for the extension of my residence permit as my old ACE insurcance is going to expire. The online purchase process is very simple and convenient. And it works very well with my application for the extension of my residence permit. When I consulted the custome service about my doubts, the lady replied very promptly. I do not have any claims for the moment, if there is any problems, I will keep you update.

From my end, as a parent on the other side of the world, I was most reassured that I could purchase insurance for her whilst she is overseas - something that was not available to me here in Australia (the laws around this have changed in recent years). I do thank you for your clear and prompt advise and assistance in all my inquiries.

I recently purchased CareMed travelers' insurance for an extended trip abroad. The online process couldn't have been easier, and the customer service representative I corresponded with was both prompt and helpful in her responses to my questions. I haven't had to put in any claims yet, but judging by the application process, that will also be an easy process!
